isnโ€™t there a historical precedent of this exact thing being futile and/or a bad idea?

Private rent in Britain now swallows 44% of the average wage Monthly cost jumps to record ยฃ1,385 outside London, and ยฃ2,736 in the capital, with hotspots showing hefty rises

Private rent in UK now swallows 44% of the average wage.

Monthly cost jumps to record ยฃ1,385 outside London, ยฃ2,736 in the capital.

Lack of social and affordable housing, no rent controls, as govts appease corporations and the rich.

Profiteering creating poverty/despair, stifling economic growth.

Iโ€™d love to live in a small town or no town at all -,I just need fibre to the house and good coffee.

My wife and kid however need to be near schools, hospitals and a place to work.

Iโ€™m not clicking through but I assume the article takes the same form as the โ€œ I paid off my house by 20โ€ articles

With out screaming and carrying on in your replies - I do love it how folks talk about what we can and can not afford - Iโ€™ve seen and I assume this will be another case of โ€œ oh itโ€™s horrid what happened to them, it we can afford it as a countryโ€

OPINION: Dealing with Danger, And The New, More Human Generation Of Riders | MotoMatters.com | Kropotkin Thinks

I wrote about the Noah Dettwiler-Jose Antonio Rueda crash in Moto3 at Sepang. About needing to bring back Moto3 warm, how racing is dangerous, doing everything we can to reduce risk. And how this generation of riders is different, and better, to previous generations.

Jesus - I think the boos have already been written - something on the typography and visual styling of the Nazis and then the Soviets.

At some point dirt is inaccurate and they should really just call it mud wrestling

Finally got to try the Tesla hyper loop tunnel thing in Las Vegas and it's a bit like me in the bedroom: amusing & different but over far too quickly and of questionable length.

Donโ€™t laugh at this. Donโ€™t dismiss it. Theyโ€™re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

I am not aware of this person, and now appear to know far more about him that I ever needed to.

Other than being a huge wanker, does he do much else?

You folks safe?

I mean, from the weather, otherwise it is far too complex and depressing to answer.

Also hugs to everyone - except the person telling the woman her daughter is dead - fuck her.

hospitals work really well if you are fit and healthy, if you are in anyway incapcaitaed they suck sweaty balls.

They are also a canary that we are living beyond our means and we as a society could adjust a little to live within them, but we'll barrel on until we all are equally fucked.

weeeeeeee

We went out to kakamatua yesterday and the road out is still fucked from the โ€œ big rainโ€

Iโ€™ve given up that people will do anything sensible.

Anything that would markedly improve the country will take more than a parliamentary term, so no one is going to start anything.

Less fucked than I thought, but also more fucked as well.

Not actively shooting their own, but maybe accidentally?

Hahahaha I was about to โ€œwell actuallyโ€ you, but I agree.

Unless you only follow yourself, you will get reasoned discussion about most things.
